Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

With the appearance of the system prompt, the war finally came to an end. Since he didn't want to see the corpse of the old man, Ning Yuan arranged for his men to clean up the battlefield, and then returned to Zhang Shoucai's palace with his guards.

After returning to the palace, Ning Yuan left 200 Condor warriors to guard the palace, and he sent the rest to look for the ordinary people who were distracted by Zhang Shoucai as bait.

Now that Zhang Tou is dead, these people are now Ning Yuan's private property, so he must get them back before dark, otherwise it will be difficult for them to survive the night without the protection of enough soldiers.

It may be because of the "lower offense" this time, Ning Yuan's luck in opening the treasure box today is not very good. The four highest-level items opened in the diamond-level treasure box are actually only silver-level, which is not as good as the ones seized from Lao Zhang What about the two special props?

A bronze-level civilization inheritance scroll, a silver-level exemption gold medal, a silver-level resource transaction certificate, and a silver-level cloud-piercing arrow, and a gold-level civilization plundering scroll was seized from Zhang Shoucai And a diamond-level escape scroll.

Cloud-piercing Arrow: Special props, silver-level, ten pieces per pack, can quickly fly high into the sky after being ignited. It exploded with a "bang", forming a beautiful rain of fireworks (which can only be seen in the dark night).

The Cloud Piercing Arrow is an enhanced version of the signal flare. Although Ning Yuan has never driven the signal flare, he has seen the properties of the signal flare on the forum.

Signal flare: special item, bronze level, ten pieces per pack, signal flare is a simple firecracker, after ignition, it will immediately fly to high altitude and explode with a "bang".

It is also a pack of ten pieces, the signal pops up and then it is over with a "bang", and the Cloud Piercing Arrow will not only make a continuous beeping sound, but also form a beautiful fireworks rain at the end of the night. It is much taller than the signal flare.

Of course, as a silver-level special prop, apart from being tall and noble, the practicality of the Cloud Piercer Arrow also greatly surpassed that of the signal flare.

As can be seen from the names, both the signal flare and the cloud-piercing arrow are used to deliver messages. However, the signal flare only has a "bang". If it is located in a noisy environment, people may not hear the sound of the signal flare.

But the Cloud Piercing Arrow is different. The continuous chirping sound it makes during flight will undoubtedly attract more attention. If it is at night, the effect will be even better. I believe that as long as you are not blind, you will be able to see it. To the rain of fireworks in the sky.

As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and the Cloud Piercing Arrow has completely outperformed the Bronze-ranked signal flare both in terms of efficacy and appearance. This is undoubtedly a very practical special prop in the era of cold weapons where it is very difficult to transmit information.

With it, armies ambushing in different places can attack the enemy at the same time, which can be described as a sharp weapon for commanding armies to fight in coordination.

Civilization Plunder Scroll: Special props, gold level, can be used after winning the invasion war and successfully killing the lord player of the defending country. You can plunder the opponent's special civilization while retaining your own original civilization.

Although the Scroll of Civilization Plunder is a gold-level special item, it can be purchased in the system mall. Of course, the price will definitely be quite expensive, and it needs 100 scientific research points.

Ordinary lord players, if there are no natural wonders or wonders of the world in their territory, then they can only get 30 scientific research points a month, and 100 scientific research points need to be saved for at least 100 days.

And during this period, they can't use scientific research points to research the technology tree, so although they can buy the civilization plunder scroll in the system store, it doesn't affect its trading value at all.

It is said that a civilization plundering scroll has been sold at a price of 500,000 earth coins, and it is still the kind that has a price but no market.

Maybe many people can't understand why the war-free token worth 10 scientific research points is only 10,000 yuan a piece, while the 100-point civilization plunder scroll costs 500,000 yuan?

In fact, this point is easy to explain. A lord can take out scientific research points at ten points, but few lords can take out scientific research points at 100 points.

Moreover, the war-free token is a bronze-level special item, which can be easily opened from the treasure chest.

However, it is not so easy to open the civilization plunder scroll as a gold-level special item, so when the early scientific research points are very precious, many people would rather spend money directly to buy the civilization plunder scroll than touch their own. Valuable research points.

Of course, if a player does not use any scientific research points from the beginning to the end, then he can use the saved scientific research points to buy civilization plunder scrolls, and then sell them to those in need. This is also a way to make a fortune. the way.

However, if the player lords don't use a little scientific research points, can they really survive a hundred days?

Leaving aside the mutual invasion between players, even the aboriginal tribes of their own planes are enough for these lords to drink a pot. How many people can survive when there are no important people and no food? What about the three-month novice period?

So although this is a way to make a fortune, not many people can reach the end, and even if someone is lucky enough to reach the end, I am afraid that they have already lost the qualification to compete with others.

Using a precious lord qualification to gamble the half a million yuan, whether this deal is worth it or not is completely a matter of opinion.

Although the civilization plundering scroll is very precious, it seems that it is of little use to Ning Yuan, because his own conqueror talent already has this effect.

Moreover, the Conqueror talent not only has the ability to plunder civilization, but also can plunder resources. It can be described as a two-in-one version of the scroll of civilization plunder and the scroll of resource plunder.

With the talent of the conqueror, Ning Yuan no longer has to spend this unjustly money. It can be said that the talent of the conqueror is the real priceless treasure.

I think that the reason why Ning Yuan was able to survive without suffering was entirely because he was reluctant to part with this randomly obtained god-level talent. Otherwise, with his personality as a player, he would rather commit suicide directly than take the initiative to bear the burden. kind of torture and humiliation.

Just like Murong Yan, after knowing that she could not escape, she decisively chose to commit suicide, completely denying Ning Yuan the chance to continue flirting.

Although death will be a huge loss for players, it doesn't mean that they have no chance to rise again, so many players with strong personalities would rather start all over again than be humiliated in the game.

After all, they came to play the game, not let the game play them.

With the Conqueror talent, although Ning Yuan can no longer use the scroll of civilization plunder, he can sell it for money or exchange it for some special props he needs.

This expense alone has earned Ning Yuan a million dollars inside and out. If things go on like this, this is indeed an astronomical figure.

In addition to the civilized plundering scroll, Ning Yuan also seized an escape scroll from the old Zhangtou. It is unbelievable that an old man who is nearly seventy years old can be so rich. It seems that this "Emperor Emperor" still has something.

It's a pity that the escape scroll can only be used when invading other planes. In our own plane, it is no different from a piece of waste paper. Otherwise, our Lord Shihuang could escape directly with it.

 …

As the sky gradually darkened, the Condor warriors who went out to look for the "bait" returned to the camp one after another. They found more than 2,000 women and children and more than 100 soldiers under Zhang Shoucai.

After learning that His Majesty the First Emperor had passed away, these people all chose to surrender.

After all, in this barbaric era where wild beasts are rampant, these one hundred soldiers alone cannot feed more than two thousand ordinary people, so in order to survive, surrendering to Ningyuan is their only choice.

In addition to these prisoners, Ning Yuan also captured more than 800 soldiers in previous battles. Because of the advantage of the iron long sticks, the Condor fighters can be said to have completely defeated the enemy's shield formation in this battle. In the situation of closing the door and beating dogs, the Condor fighters basically suffered no casualties.

Ning Yuan has led the army to fight so many battles, and this is the first time that the opponent has been completely defeated without any casualties. From this we can see how terrible it is for the arms to fight against each other on the battlefield.

Although the enemy's shield formation completely overwhelmed the archers on Ningyuan's side at the beginning, when the shield formation was broken by the Condor Legion, the archers immediately became life-threatening messengers, and the enemies surrounded in the middle could only watch helplessly. Watching them keep harvesting.

If there is no absolute suppression of the archers in this battle, even if the Condor Legion can win in the end, it may suffer a lot of losses. After all, they need to advance little by little until they completely defeat the enemy.

The appearance of the archers directly made them skip this step.

When the enemy lacks long-range attack means, they only need to surround the enemy tightly, and hand over the heavy responsibility of striking the enemy to those archers. up.

On Zhang Shoucai's side, although he made an infantry shield, his weapon was still a stone spear tied to a wooden pole. Compared with the iron poles in the hands of the Condor Warriors, this wooden stone spear was still too backward.

The iron rod in the hands of the Condor Warrior can be pierced, smashed, and swung to block. You can use it however you want, and it can't be broken anyway.

But the stone spears in their hands can only be used for stabbing, because the wooden spear shafts are not so strong, so in order to avoid breaking the spear shafts, they only have the stabbing attack method.

In the past, when dealing with barbarians holding stone axes, these warriors only needed to stab the spears in their hands through the gap between the shields.

Because those enemies with stone axes want to attack the shield formation, they must rush forward. At this time, the advantage of the length of the stone spear is revealed, and they can stab the enemy one step before they attack the shield formation.

Although the stone ax can be regarded as a blunt weapon, it is made of stone after all, so even if the enemy can hit the shield with the stone ax, the final result is often a dent in the place where the shield was hit, and the stone ax is likely will break or crumble.

It can be said that Zhang Shoucai's previous battles were basically won by relying on the shield formation to restrain the enemy's stone axes, and then using spearmen to continuously assassinate the enemy to win.

This move can be said to be tried and tested, as long as the enemy can't break through his shield formation, then he can only be eaten away by the spearmen in the shield formation bit by bit.

It's a pity that he met Ning Yuan this time. Although the iron long sticks were not very restrained against the shield formation, due to the lack of strength of the stone spears, the spearmen inside could only watch helplessly as the enemy smashed the shield formation one by one.

If they were holding five or six meter long spears at this time, then the Condor Warriors would have no chance of attacking the shield formation. As long as the Condor Warriors dared to approach, they would use the spears in their hands to attack the god Eagle fighters impaled.

Zhang Shoucai's shield formation is like a wooden barrel. The lack of attack power is the shortcoming of this wooden barrel. The Condor fighters just seized this shortcoming, thus defeating the entire shield formation in one fell swoop, creating a new era for the archers. An excellent output opportunity, and finally achieved a complete victory.

Although Zhang Shoucai's shield formation was broken by Ning Yuan, the main reason was not that there was a problem with his idea, but that the existing conditions could not satisfy his idea.

So Lord Ning Yuan, who is good at summarizing, began to set his sights on this shield formation. After all, when he saw this shield formation for the first time, Ning Yuan was taken aback.

Learning must be learned, but you can't copy it completely, because Ning Yuan found that the shield array invented by Zhang Shoucai has one of the biggest shortcomings, that is, its mobility is too poor.

The shield array invented by Lao Zhangtou looks awesome despite its various deformations that can crackle and crackle when defending. However, it is not difficult to find that he is always in a passive situation when he is beaten.

That is to say, this shield array is waiting for the enemy to rush over and take the initiative to attack. Once the enemy has a little more brains and does not choose to fight hard with them, then the entire shield array can only become a display, just like the Maginot line of defense.

That's right, Ning Yuan is that brainless guy. Although he is good at summarizing afterwards, he always tends to get hotheaded during battles, and this is also the case today.

In fact, he could have sent an army to hold back the enemy, and then led another army to attack the enemy's base camp. Unfortunately, at that time, he only had eyes on the enemies in front of him. After the bow and arrow failed to suppress him, he directly Charged up with the army,  …

Of course, mobility is not always required. If you have an absolute advantage in terrain, such as when you are in a necessary place, mobility is not so important.

Because if the enemy wants to pass by, he must carry out a frontal force, otherwise he can only retreat obediently.

After repeatedly comparing Wei Wuzu's fighting style with Lao Zhangtou's shield formation, Ning Yuan came to an ambiguous conclusion, that is, both have their own advantages and disadvantages, rather than pitting the two against each other. , Wei Wuzu should be able to win a complete victory.

Three layers of heavy armor, long halberds, crossbow arrows, iron swords, and large sculls with rhinoceros faces are the standard equipment for Wei Wuzu.

From these equipments, it can be seen that Wei Wuzu is a special unit with both offensive and defensive capabilities. They have no obvious shortcomings. In the field, if you want to defeat such an army, you will have to pay a very heavy price.

If we had to find a shortcoming for Wei Wuzu, it would probably be the difficulty in training. Able to attack and defend, close and far, if you want to train such an all-round unit, you will definitely pay a high price.

First of all, let's not talk about the equipment. After all, without these equipment, they can't be called Wei Wuzu.

We must know that the reason why the special forces are strong is that in addition to the careful selection of personnel quality, the equipment they are equipped with also accounts for a large proportion.

Without equipment, no matter how elite you train them, if the enemy shoots a wave of arrows, they will still die, so weapons and equipment must be available.

Secondly, if a person wants to master so much equipment from scratch, strict training is definitely indispensable, and the training time must not be short.

After all, in fighting on the battlefield, individual strength is insignificant, and only a coordinated battle formation can exert the maximum combat effectiveness of these fighters.

Finally, elite soldiers need to be selected thousands of times. Not everyone can master these weapons and equipment. People's physical fitness is different. Enough stamina to carry on.

However, it seems that in this special era, this most important personnel requirement is the easiest to achieve, because of the cruel living environment, most of those frail and sick individuals have been eliminated by nature, and those who can survive are The strongest individual.

Therefore, if Ning Yuan wants to train Wei soldiers, he doesn't have to worry about personnel at all. There are not many other things in the Shenying tribe, but the muscles with developed limbs are the most. Now it is the equipment and time that restrict him from training Wei soldiers.

Compared with the difficulty of training Wei Wuzu, Zhang Shoucai's castrated version of the Macedonian phalanx is relatively much simpler.

Although this phalanx also needs certain equipment support, compared with the various equipment of Wei Wuzu, the equipment required by this phalanx is much less.

The two most important core equipment of the entire phalanx are shields and spears. As long as the shields and spears are manufactured, the entire phalanx will take shape.

In view of the fact that the real Macedonian phalanx still needs the protection of auxiliary arms, so at this stage, it is more practical to use this kind of defensive shield array. As long as the shield array is arranged on a favorable terrain for defense, the enemy wants to break through the shield array There will be a very heavy price to pay.

Moreover, the Condor Tribe is not as poor as Lao Zhangtou's here, where they don't even have archers. The elf archers are the best archers in the world. With their assistance, the shield formation is even more unbreakable.

So before training the real Wei soldiers, Ning Yuan is going to make this shield first.

Shields had to do with that until tin or lead was found, but spears were a simple matter of experimenting with which wood was the hardest, and the problem of the shaft was solved.

As for the spearheads, we have to wait. The blacksmiths in the Condor Eagle Tribe have not been able to make qualified spearheads yet. It seems that plundering dwarf civilization must be put on the agenda.

In addition to learning this kind of shield array in Ningyuan's invasion, I am afraid that the biggest gain is that he can get the copper mine here.

The metal Zhang Shoucai used to make the shield was copper, to be precise it should be said to be pure copper.

Copper is one of the earliest metals used by humans.

As early as prehistoric times, people began to mine open-pit copper mines and used the obtained copper to make weapons, tools and other utensils. The use of copper had a profound impact on the progress of early human civilization. The discovery of copper was a starting point for human beings to enter the Bronze Age.

However, pure copper is relatively soft and not suitable for making weapons. The shields smashed by the eagle fighters are the best proof. If you want to use copper to make weapons, you must add tin or lead to it to make it become bronze.

Bronze has the characteristics of low melting point, high hardness, strong plasticity, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, bright color, etc., and is very suitable for casting various utensils and weapons.

Although I don't know if there will be such a sharp bronze sword in ancient times in this game.

But with the appearance of bronze weapons, the entire game pattern will be completely changed, the Stone Age will be completely ended, and those barbarian tribes still holding stone axes will be eliminated.

In addition to these uses, copper also has one of the biggest uses, that is, it can be used to cast money.

With the continuous development and progress of society, the germ of private ownership will gradually emerge. When private ownership develops to a certain extent, the emergence of currency is inevitable.

At that time, people's daily life will be inseparable from currency. Currency can not only represent the amount of a person's wealth, but also an important medium of "daily communication" between people.

If there is no currency circulation within a power, then this power will never be able to develop, because it will lack internal competitiveness and cannot mobilize everyone's enthusiasm.

In the game of barbarism and civilization, although the player lords cannot mint currency by themselves, they can take the gold, silver, and copper they get to the system and directly exchange them for corresponding gold, silver, and copper coins.

The reason why Nuwa deprived players of the right to mint coins was mainly to prevent players from cheating on minting coins and making shortfalls.

And a unified currency system is also conducive to various transactions between players, between players and aborigines, and between aborigines and aborigines, so that the vicious events of inflation will not easily occur in the game .

The copper mine discovered by Zhang Shoucai was an open-pit copper mine, which had not been fully mined so far, so Ning Yuan simply plundered the entire copper mine and the camp back, and chose the location on the south side of Wanjun Mountain.
